timtebow15 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think he should have the Blazer taken away. As much as I dislike Brady the football issue is less serious than this. So many of these players do so much damage to others and he's telling them how to get away with it. The league should bar him from any association with the NFL for the rest of his life.

ko12010 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) His weird rant about Adrian Petersen's situation last year was hilarious. Watching how uncomfortable the rest of the Sunday morning crew were makes me laugh every time. Edited August 24, 2015 by ko12010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 He did blame Geno Smith for getting into a 600 dollar snit. Is that worth something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit extreme. I don't think this is worthy of him losing his blazer. It WAS a stupid thing to say. But I'm sure ESPN execs will have a sit down with him. And the NFL should bang the gong and get him off the stage. His days as a motivational speaker should end, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The entitlement culture is everwhere. Blame the ball boy, videotaper, or even the old favorite: alcohol! You left out the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I've always disliked Carter; he is the stereotype of the "I'm a star athlete; kiss my feet" mentality and just oozes douchiness. This video is two years old and apparently that "speech" hasn't been repeated, but the attitude of "you need to be untouchable so find a lackey" is hardly a surprise coming from him. Complete ass.

I guess you can use this as your benchmark or standard: OJ Simpson still has his gold jacket. * *unless it has already been pawned.

Gordio Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Am I the only one that thinks it was kind of funny? In a lot of ways it is pretty good advice. If you have a crew you need a fall guy. People that are saying he should lose his jacket or be banned from the NFL should really get over themselves. Stupid thing to say. It is also stupid for the NFL to put a guy in front of a bunch of rookies who was a coke head & DB all his life & tell them how to act in the NFL.

Kipers Hair Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 To some extent, I blame both the players union and the NFL for allowing this. Instead of rolling out the HOF guy, (though Carter does not belong), they should roll out the Ryan Leafs, Aaron Hernandez or Lawrence Phillips type - people who had a chance, drafted higher than most, but failed via bad decisions... Make them watch 'Rand University' or the Marcus Dupree story on 30 for 30 - cautionary tales...not some buffoon like CC or Warren Sapp - two guys who got more chances than the kids watching in those seats will likely get. More draftees end up driving trucks or other blue collar work as opposed to slipping on the Gold Jacket. Let them face that reality and stop dangling the ultimate prize in front of them. As to Carter - He doesn't belong in the Hall. Good for him that he straightened his troubled life out, but he's a poor example of leadership. He's a clown, more cliche' than substance. I would never let him be my example of what hard work yields - he was gifted a collage career and given 3rd and 4th chances in life because of his talent. Hard work is Fred Jackson, or (don't hate), Tom Brady - people who worked for their lot in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Cris Carter let Rex's dad take the fall for ten years for saving Carter's douchebag life. I never have and never will forgive him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just calling attention to the fact that Vincent is an idiot. Even the harshest Brady critics must recognize that by now.

Captain Caveman Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm not going to watch this, but can someone tell me if he mentions that having a fall guy isn't much good if you're doing the stupid thing on video or in front of hundreds of people?

Im assuming CC just didnt get the difference between saying that in the aftermath of a player getting arrested with something on him, and the setting he was in.

Please list a bunch of things that Vincent has done in this job that makes him an idiot. I'm not saying he i or isn't, just curious as to what you think all these idiotic things he has done are, in this or other cases. its obviously really dumb to stand up there in your HOF jacket and give the guys that advice at an orientation type of event.... but yea, i feel like i see similar sentiment frequently in the form of "jeeeeeeze he couldnt atleast get one of his friends to carry the weed, or gun, or drive the car, or....."

That is from fans saying incredibly irresponsible and stupid things, too. Regardless of whether or not that would help a player skate from getting in trouble.

Webster Guy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 "Y'all wanna keep rollin like dis', i gotta know who gonna be da fall guy..." Broadcast journalism and quality leadership at its all-time low right there. What a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
